About

Intterra Field Tool

Features
Read full description

Intterra Field Tool requires a login for Intterra, the robust web app decision support system that provides intel, mapping and analysis for emergency response agencies. Intterra Field Tool complements and extends the use of Intterra to field users, with the benefit of working offline and syncing with Intterra automatically when internet connectivity is good. By design, it does not have all the capabilities of Intterra. Intterra Field Tool allows viewing, collecting, and sharing emergency response information in an interactive map with extensive map tip details. Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
